Beaver caught with gay sheep ple-e-e-eads
The Oregon State player arrested for DUI while in possession of a gay sheep stolen from the university's research farm has pleaded no contest. OSU DT Ben Siegert entered the plea this week and will attend a DUI diversion program.
Siegert must complete alcohol treatment, pay about $600 in costs and fees, and appear before the Benton County Victim Impact Panel within one year to have the charges dismissed.
Beavers head coach Mike Riley has allowed Siegert to participate in spring practices, although he could face further penalties -- including game suspensions.
"There may be some things pending in the future, but right now we felt the best thing for [Siegert] was the structure of practice. Not to be floating out there in the world," coach Mike Riley said.
